--- Quote from: Disco_Stu on August 07, 2008, 11:57:05 ---Have a look at the pirate 4x4 website. There is an in depth discussion on tube material, strength, cost, cutting techniques etc. Its in a suspension article about making your own links but the info is still valid.

Also search the LR 4x4 site for rollcages, some of those lads have done excellent threads about making them in the past.

Good luck, I'll watch this one with interest   :-k

ive just purchased a 12tonne pipe bender on ebay for £56 squid looks the business so lets hope i can find the thread i dont like the pirate 4x4 place little wierd but ill give it a whirl

boss:
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
if its the one im thinking of you will end up with flatspots in the tube!....some people seem to make them work but i for one cant!
i do have the alrc handbook somewhare which tells you all the tube specs, i think im right in saying o/d of the TUBE (not pipe) must be no less than 47mm with a wall of 1.7mm.....dont hold me to this i cant remember it all off of the top of my head. as for a snorkel, why dont you just move the one you have over into the windscreen, you will have yo take a chunk out of the bonnet and some vision will be lost but i would rather that than a £150 snorkel getting ripped off! the way i see it all the front mounted ones are vunerable! thanks for the props on the sliders BTW :D 

Disco_Stu:
If you want an unbreakable snorkel and your going to make a roll cage, you could do worse than have a look at Pikey Farmers beast. Cage and snorkel combined with tube as thick as your arm. Sorted.

boss:
yes that is a good one the extreme 4x4 one is similar too.

boss:
any progress?
